Guitar Pics I DONT Use, Here Is Why! Review - Important Tips (Dunlop Tortex)

[Soxerish]

I think there are few dunlop picks that have good ink on them,i recommend Fender.

[TheQueenIsAWhore]

As an almost brand new acoustic guitarist, I was wondering if an obsidian or any stone pick would produce the beautiful sound everyone looks for. Would it?

[sjb123100]

I use dunlop Big Stubby 2mm and i find it better than the thinner ones.

But i'm just starting playing guitar so my opinion probably the best.

[Th3Gabert]

wat about those mojo picks made from coins

[TheMrmc101]

i have 1 xD



[terrysuch1]

just so you know dick head lots of good guitar players use light picks orange tortex are where its at

[MrWOOTIE123]

i have those^_^

[3010smejo]

Which color ( or size ) of Dunlop Tortex you´re using ??

[JOELALVARADO95]

I use Ernie Ball's and I think they are great, great sound, everything is great.

[gyoldamnshit]

if its not a jazz III XL its shit.

[musicvortex15]

i use a jack daniels pick that allways makes me crave the drink afterwards...............im thirsty

[jojo11180]

ha i always bend my light pic as you sown there... lol

[ravenshield56]

V-PICKS :D

[tdag100]

dunlop makes tortex really light gauge picks that DONT brake so you could buy those paul gilbert uses something like .57 or .53 mm dunlop tortex picks to great effect so not all light picks are bad just the ones that are made out of shit material "cough cough" fender picks

[xPsuedo]

what if someone wants that scratchy sound when they're playing? that's just like saying "oh, don't slide your fingers across those acoustic strings, no one wants to hear that when you're changing chords!"

oh and that bass pick crap. just plain bull. it looks comfy to me.

[ravenshield56]

@xPsuedo very true..well the bass bit, i use...wait for it...an 11.85 mm pick :P yup, you read that right my friend :P its so comfy

[musicvortex15]

@ravenshield56 WTF!!!!!

[ravenshield56]

@musicvortex15 ;D

[jokas96]

I play guitar with a bass pick and I'm happy about it!

[jaded822]

I'm been using some dunlop tortex 1 mm for a long time. Gonna pickup some .88 mm soon.

[boombambaby7]

I collect guitar picks! =)

[RJiminez51]

i bought the tortex .60 picks, i wish they would use permanant ink. after using them i had ink all over my fingers. they suck.

[BlueOnionGroup]

@RJiminez51 whats wrong with your fingers?



[Soxerish]

@RJiminez51 yeah, i know right? i bought the green tortex ones and the ink almost instantly cam off as soon as your fingers rub onto it. I prefer Fender picks.

[JohnHowell00]

There's no such things as a plectrum specified for bass or guitar, I use those "bass" picks on my guitar and the standard size picks from bass. A picks a pick, what you use it for depends on the player's feel and preference.

[TheBestGuitarSoloEVR]

@JohnHowell00 wow you use bass pics on guitar your definately not a shredder hahahaha

[iBankai145]

I just got some tortex .73 mm and I like them a lot.

[DustyKiss76]

Only watched a couple of your videos but I still think you're immence; Subbed :D

[MrHellboy4ever]

Love the Dunlop tortes picks

[pipsqueek14]

i like triangle picks most in case of playabillity, but i think tortex 0.60 mm have a great not to floppy but just a little floppy sound and they sound warm. they sound great :)

neck pick-up (single coil) little bit chorus delay reverb and distortion. tortex 0.60 and play aggresive, and youl have the SRV sound

[coronet67]

The best picks I ever had were bullhorn. I can't find them again though. The only ones I can find are too thick. The ones I bought @ ten years ago at a little music shop were close to a "medium" thickness of a regular cellulose pick.

I use Dunlop Tortex orange ones now. Or sometimes these picks that say "COOL" on them. They have a light sandpaper feel to the grip area.

[BlackSGMan]

I find I play quicker with a 1.2mm Jim Dunlop Jazz III pick. They're little baby picks so they force you to play more accurately.

[hayzagood]

haha I like your "scratchy" face

[TEMPA01]

Andy, where in Oz are you based?

Cheers!

[BlackSGMan]

@TEMPA01 Andy's a Tasmanian. He taught me a heap of stuff at a "Write it, Rock it, Record it" Program down here

[TEMPA01]

@BlackSGMan Thanks for that. Andy messaged me yesterday to tell me that as well. Bad news for me, I am in Victoria! Would love to be able to take lessons with him.

[LRMMcDonnell]

i have always sworn by dunlop ultex picks, similar to the triangle one you showed, they sound great to me.

[MrRocknRoll2009]

Fender recently released these delrin picks which I like to use, they come in all different gauges AND they look cool too :D

I cant seem to post a link to the pick though :(

Cheers!

[MrRocknRoll2009]

Good advice, those skull picks and others like them are definitely not to be used for playing.

One thing I would like to add is that the type of pick Celluloid, Delrin, what have you, to me, comes down to personal choice especially the gauges. When I play my electric I use a .73 and for my acoustics I like to use a .60. I perfer delrin picks which Dunlop, Clayton AND Fender manufacture.
